Marvel Sneak Peek: Electric Ant #1

It’s odd that in the last five years Philip K. Dick has experienced another resurgence in popularity.Â With Boom Studio’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” it was only a matter of time before other comic publishers started offering their interpretations of PKD stories. Marvel Comics landed the rights to Electric Ant, and sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the first issue.

I have to say I have been looking forward to this for a while. The art looks great, but I have to wonder how many issues will this be. My wallet can’t take a “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” length story.
